SolarEdge S500B-1GM4MBM

About This Product

S500B-1GM4MBMis a SolarEdge S-Series power optimiser designed for high-power and bifacial solar modules. It operates at module level, pairing with SolarEdge inverters to maximise energy harvest and improve system design flexibility. The S500B model is rated for modules up to 500W and supports higher current panels commonly used in modern residential and commercial systems.

This optimiser enables module-level Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT), allowing each panel to operate independently. That means better performance in partial shading, mixed orientations or uneven soiling. It also provides built-in safety features including SafeDC, which automatically reduces DC voltage when the inverter or grid is shut down.

Who This Product Suits

The S500B-1GM4MBMsuits installers building SolarEdge systems using high-wattage or bifacial panels up to 500W. It is ideal for residential and light commercial installs where shading, roof complexity or panel mismatch could otherwise reduce system output.

This SolarEdge optimiser is also suitable where enhanced safety compliance is required, as the module-level shutdown function supports Australian installation standards. It is designed specifically for use with compatible SolarEdge inverters and monitoring platforms.

Specifications Explained

• Rated Input Power:Up to 500W per module.
• Maximum Input Voltage:60V DC per module.
• Maximum Short Circuit Current:15A.
• Output Voltage:Up to 80V DC when connected to a SolarEdge inverter.
• Efficiency:Up to 99.5% peak efficiency.
• Compatibility:Designed for use exclusively with SolarEdge inverters.
• Safety:SafeDC automatic voltage reduction during shutdown or inverter off state.
• Monitoring:Module-level performance monitoring via the SolarEdge platform.

These specifications make the S500B suitable for modern high-current solar panels commonly used across Australian installations.

Summary

The S500B-1GM4MBMis a reliable SolarEdge S-Series power optimiser built for 500W and bifacial modules. It delivers module-level MPPT, improved performance under shading, and enhanced system safety through automatic voltage reduction. When paired with a compatible SolarEdge inverter, it forms part of a fully monitored, high-efficiency solar system suited to Australian conditions.
